Donations use people... feeding power to top chains - We need betters ways to pay each other...
#Donations feeding power (fees) to the top - another way is needed to avoid making super-monster who use that money from our charity to make super-monster businesses...
MORE ON THAT....
I respect people testing anything else just for imagining avoiding this pyramid a little more - even if not backing #Bitcoin etc 100%.
Can be sea shells just something...
#Monero seems so far the best winner as it is international and more our own authority - yes it burns energy but actually ALL money does whether it's coins and banks burning us using compound inflation or whatever quantitative easing / diluting methods.
So #Monero better than #PayPal which a lot of people have (Imagine PayPal co-founder is ambassador to Trump and goes overseas to enhance defense and security - God or something help us all)
See this is how #US power is all linked as sub-companies of United $takes or United #Snakes / or whatever United #States join together conspiring the same old #State against it's own people, like all donations use the people to fund themselves to get even bigger and badder...
Self-fulfilling prophecy (when people are not trying anything more than #hate)
Sticking to #Trump #JeffBezos #Musk #AlexJones and anything else they can waste their time on, is not good!
Leave those cancers alone! Work on #Fediverse more personally with others constructively healthily... or just ask me / see #FreeSchool - that is better than hating those more distant unresponsive people...
Europe's dependence on Russian gas...
The irony doing deals with the #enemy... knowingly shaking hands with the devils.
And way before current #war - you would think people learn...
As if previous #history and #actions of #threats to switch off gas isn't enough for people to stop #business and find another way?
They've switched off gas during hash #Ukraine winters to get them to sign deals... just cruel.
Don't do business with devils. It will only come to bite us all.

#Serbia #now - Largest Protest by students !
"Currently, in Serbia, students have full control over 62 out of 80 faculties. This is the largest student protest in our region since 1968.

#Finance, #Money etc is all about processing people and pushing them toward #profit (and eventual loss for whole society as it get more #expensive).
I see all those listed in this quote as a kind of 'rinse and repeat' processing of people and planet, constantly #reselling and upping the costs as their #job (backed by the state) and to rake in the money and transaction costs / taxes / profits... Almost useless process and therefore people.

#Dilemma #Germany = customer of #Russia #Energy
Imagine the #Dilemma of #Germany as a #customer of #Russi. and overall #Energy and geopolitical #War not forgetting #Ukraine !
If #Germans are one of the biggest customers of energy from #Russia could you imagine bombing your energy supplier and destroying the deal you did ?
It would kill the devil and enemy but also your own economy built from leveraging it cheap fuel and gas from somewhere else!!

Giving is just another attack method for these United $tates...
TLDR - It's never aid Capitalism 'gives' - more infiltration to makes sure it's never a free lunch for those "receiving" and just making it worse... #FreeSchool
🖼️ Description of picture and why:
#Freedom depicted picture, as peace doves fly above - however the #birds are like a #Trojan #horses dropping other things at the same time.
Bombs are shown but what is given can be less visible even aid or help can be "given" as water wells in order to capture a market and make them pay or command and conquer territory as usual wanted outcome. Never free or for freeing people.
So it's not aid overall - more opportunity for more infiltration and territory of many sorts - never a free lunch for those poor 'receiving'.
Giving is just an attack method and only what these States are about - money and banks as control and leverage. This is all what they are ever about... 💲 🏦 Banks too everywhere doing the same 'giving' debt.
🖼️ Picture in text says: 🖼️
"Giving #peace...
Giving is just another #attack method for these #United $tates..."

#Banks at the heart of it all too giving debt.. Yes #Capitalism will try save you every time...
Corporate social networking sites are a bit like dogs. Puppies, actually. We all want them to stay little and cute forever, and this is where the analogy breaks down. The dog gets bigger and is cute in a different way. The billionaire-owned social networking sites just turn the cute puppy into dog shit.

I think that clickbait is the wrong term considering that, a new study of 35 million news links circulated on Facebook reports that more than 75% of the time they were shared without the link being clicked upon and read.
I worry that there are more nefarious reasons for having the headlines misrepresent the stories, but that's blueanon stuff I suppose.

“We said no to #Coachella for next year because again, we’ve been there once, and once was enough. It’s in Palm Springs. It’s a golf resort built on a desert, run on a sprinkler system, using public water supplies. Mental. If you want to see something that’s the most ludicrous bit of human behavior, it’s right there.”
#Ireland embraced #DataCenters that the #AI boom needs. Now they’re consuming too much of its energy
By MATT O’BRIEN
December 19, 2024
CLONDALKIN, Ireland (AP) — "Dozens of massive data centers humming at the outskirts of #Dublin are consuming more electricity than all of the urban homes in Ireland and starting to wear out the warm welcome that brought them here.
"Now, a country that made itself a computing factory for #Amazon, #Google, #Meta, #Microsoft and #TikTok is wondering whether it was all worth it as tech giants look around the world to build even more data centers to fuel the next wave of #ArtificialIntelligence.
"Fears of #RollingBlackouts led Ireland’s grid operator to halt new data centers near Dublin until 2028. These huge buildings and their powerful computers last year consumed 21% of the nation’s electricity, according to official records. No other country has reported a higher burden to the International Energy Agency.
"Not only that, but Ireland is still heavily reliant on burning #FossilFuels to generate electricity, despite a growing number of wind farms sprouting across the countryside. Further data center expansion threatens Ireland’s goals to sharply cut planet-warming emissions.
"Ireland is a 'microcosm of what many countries could be facing over the next decade, particularly with the growth of AI,' said energy researcher Paul Deane of University College Cork."

#Chess #Quote The world? Just black and white squares, no colors, no joy..."
"The world? Just black and white squares, no colors, no joy — just the haunting rhythm of the pieces that led to this moment."
A quote from Gambuzyan on LiChess.com
"This is the ultimate nightmare for any professional chess player.
Honestly, I’d rather break my arm than go through something like this again. (In fact, one of the reasons I quit professional chess was to escape these super-stressful days.)"
⬇️ MY ADDED COMMENTS ⬇️
#Professional players have #Stress (same in many things "PROFESSIONAL" (meaning often to over-do it or mainly do 1 thing) where we could 'win #together' a bit more in terms of championS in life overall (not business of extraction for being taxed) and more even playing field, even if not _the_ best and not needing get the most #money all the time as relativity to your '#worth' in life).
Life is not just #black and #white squares to though even though the #State and #Banks working against people would only want to see people in black and white (as #numbers, #race, working for them or not, and all the kind of #binary ways to look at things without #diversity etc)... and #cheat people out of life that way - basically making a #profit all the while in stress more than really helping each other or real change from this #oppression...
#ManMade things try to #Design it the only #Monopoly #game to play and live...
Life is more than this #business of #extraction - don't get #trapped into thinking and only doing this way.

Working together is the answer - that I'm sure of if you want human* change. It's a cruel and long road but better than tech #rugpulls we see all the time. Time to design something more personal and cared for. Re-design Ourselves.

I add Fediverse #Quotes #Notes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites for a more Human-caring social, not hating, so it's a better example of ourselves and what we could do and love in things we all share and mostly care for.
Towards Togetherness. Agree?
===================
So let's build whatever we can, the best we can. without rugpullers.
Perhaps building friendship at the end is 'it' and can win it for all of us rather than paranoia and not trying to gel together.
Making our own relationship with life rather than shying away leaving it to people hating Trump / Bezos / Musk and spreading news of their actions that self-perpetuates itself more than work on something else.
This profile and life is the work of the heart and mind. We have enough material and tech mostly. Now to evolve the mind a bit more and catch up with the lessons and psychology.

"FreeSchool" is a movement from 1960s/1970s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Learning via interaction means there is always risk by the way. By not building trust or working on mutually worknig together inaction happens and lack of friendship also allows bad people... so I see us as doing the work more daily or as the good homework we need to do (nobody else can do it properly without us).
MORE DETAIL BELOW IF NEEDED...
BUILD YOURSELF AND ME (DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WHOLE WORLD)...
All aims should be towards working together more personally instead of hating, because most of the hating is free advertising and spreading fear for them ("Bad news is still good advertising)
This means less spreading Trumps, Musk, Bezos names and plans, and more our thing.
Humans change Humans - we the caring people reason better as we have a caring soul and a conscience. We also need to test and repair those that can't. Tech does not care and has it's limits at best which I think we have akready reached and in danger of leaving people behind over-doing I.T.
========================================
Do you have work for me or any ideas / dreams of your own?
========================================
Going towards growing better decision-making humans as a main goal or my interpreration (human-educated examples helping others help others) and not just tech filters of progression / aggression / profit.
Tech has measurably been over-done and had it's limits being backed by BigTech and State-orientatedand heavily regulated infrastructures. This ultimately undoes this and is are not human-caring and just money / profit-orientated the same as the state and companies are.
All $tates use bank$ that cheat everyone else behind their back.
Every $tate let's this happen to keep unfair power over people and keep them down.
I have DIY education more than any Massive Tech-based $haring. We have enough small solutions. We just need to do the human homework together which is what almost nobody is doing and it shows! We canNOT just do tech, we can maintain some tech but then grow the user's interests and direction using caring people and releasing their potential and curating ourselves... Since the mentlaity of people (users) are the weak point of all systems (who are happy to abuse them / add adverts etc) so it means working on ourselves is the best now we have mostly everything else worked on to catch up on the mentality and also realise all the tricks historically.
☼ Free work if you can justify it +
#Friendship (it's for humanity and world too to grow friendship). I edit basic text, audio, video for free to grow the idea of Freedom or not just banks and money made to give us crutches after they break our legs / eat our time and money (energy).
